In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Fous ta cagoule !” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 1658 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Fous ta cagoule !” meme mean?

A cagoule, or balaclava, is a fabric face covering, and here it is cold-weather gear. The meme borrows the song: as soon as the temperature drops, the line gets shouted in capitals like a chanted order. It fits frosty mornings, bad weather forecasts and winter outings, with a dash of nostalgia for 2000s hits. The tone is as over the top as the song itself, deliberately too loud and too serious.

Where does the “Fous ta cagoule !” meme come from?

Fatal Bazooka is a comedy music project in which Michaël Youn plays a fictional rapper, born from a 2002 sketch on the M6 show Morning Live. “Fous ta cagoule”, written by Gérard Baste, came out in 2006 and made the character famous: it reached number one in France and Belgium. It is the second track on the album T'as vu ?, released on 28 May 2007 by Warner. Its video, watched by tens of millions on YouTube, made the line a staple of memes and nostalgic parties.

The reprint of the “Fous ta cagoule !” card

Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.
